Fire destroyed the Macon offices of Rescare, a business offering home healthcare as well as management of services for the developmentally disabled, early Saturday morning.

According to Peggy Clay, executive director of Rescare of Georgia, which manages services for the developmentally disabled, Macon-Bibb Firefighters responded to a fire on the second floor of the office at 1910 Forsyth Street which her business shared with another Rescare business, Rescare HomeCare, at about 6am Saturday.

Clay said she was told by officials that no one was harmed in the blaze. Normal Rescare business hours are 9-5, Monday through Friday. "I do have a cleaning person who comes on Saturdays, but she wasn't in there," Clay said.
